Basboosa - Semolina Cake With Lemon Honey Sauce Recipe


Basboosa - Semolina Cake With Lemon Honey Sauce Recipe
A friend of mine makes this and I was finally able to tease the recipe from her. I asked if I could post it here and she said no problem because it's not a secretive recipe, and there are several ways of preparing it.
